Family of five, 16, 50+ couple, 21 and 24 year old. 12 cruise 4th Carnival......

arrived at port 10:30, too early...we waited on line in our car for about 1 hour. prior cruise was departing, once they were almost gone we were allowed to empty luggage, then park. Had faster to the fun and signed in, waited a bit and we were on the ship and bought our shore excursions at 12:24, drink package at 12:54, first burger at 1:10....well worth the $$$ so far!

Had three cabins 8202, 8240 and 8244. 8202 was a balcony and the hallway did not connect to other cabins we had, you had to walk out by the elevator then walk back in the hallway. We always do a balcony but this time we were discouraged, couple next to us were smokers and it seemed every time we went on our balcony they were out smoking so we went back in (cannot tolerate the smell). Guess we could have said something but it was their vacation too and they were permitted to smoke on their balcony (next time we do an inside!) Read more
